I have a production Windows 2008 R2 server, and my workstation is Gentoo linux (kernel 3.12.13). I used to connect to server with rdesktop.

Now I want to restrict the windows firewall rule for rdp (built-in rule) to allow connections from certain IPs only. Firewall demands that only secure rdp connections can be restricted and gives me 4 options:

  • allow the connection if it's authenticated and integrity protected
  • require the connections to be encrypted
  • allow the connection to use null encapsulation
  • override block rules

I don't know which option is supported by my Gentoo rdesktop.

  1. What type should I choose?
  2. Should I modify rdesktop parameters and how?

You need to go to the Scope tab of the firewall rule and add your workstations ip address to the Remote ip address section.

Leave the action on the General tab set to Allow the connection.
